Oh lump in my oatmeal
Listen to me
I love you truly
So don't ever leave
I'll take you to my room
And build you a cage
We'll be so happy
All night and all day
You'll have your own bedroom
And a fully functional cable ready color TV too
Oh my dear lump
It's just me and you
I'll take you to school
In a little box
and show all the kiddies
What a nice lump I gots
Oh my lump
Please never go
Down the garbage disposal
'cause I love you so
You're better than fishy
Or kitty or dog
I don't even care if
You look like a frog
I don't know what happened
But I started to cry
The lump in my oatmeal
Is really a dead fly...
All Covered in oatmeal
In my breakfast bowl
Oh my lump
I still love you so
I'll give you a funeral
My head bowed so low
Oh lump in my oatmeal
Why did you go
You were my best friend
I loved you the most
But now I'm in love with
The bump on my my toast
